Brickset.com site issues

Comments

Hmm, I don't know. I quite liked having the main site links/header at the top ("Browse", "Buy", "More...", etc). It gives it a feeling of consistency/being on the same site. Plus I liked the ability to jump straight from forum to browsing a theme or whatever. As for keeping the design exactly the same as the front page, though, I don't think that's a priority.

One problem on the main site @Huw, It seems there are random bits of text (usually just single words) in the news articles that turn into a working link that when you hover over, generates ads. I'm not sure whats up with that...

I really miss the Brickset blue here. I spend more time on the forum than the main site. The main site looks great with the blue borders, but any length of time on the forum becomes a bit of an eyesight test after a while.

I'm no luddite - progress is progress - but this current style isn't really doing it for me.

On another note, the #setnumber links have never worked on the mobile version of the site. Is that something that is fixable? It's a really handy feature on the desktop forum.

@Huw, I seem to be having problems staying signed in on the main site. I logged in yesterday and ticked the 'stay signed in' box, but have had to log in again today.

Does the new server allow me to stay signed in on more than one computer? So if I sign in on my work computer, then go home after work and sign in on my home computer, will it then force me to sign in again on my work computer the following day?

Having exactly the same sign in problem on the main page too, but I have only ever logged in to Brickset on one device (laptop)? I think I put a comment about it on the main page too. I think it basically logs me out every time I close my browser, which is perpetually annoying. Originally I thought it was the result of clearing cookies on my laptop to get Brickset to display the correct country, but I don't think that's the case anymore.

Hi. I am also being logged off each time. While the site was down and giving me that funky page, if I googled sometng like "brickset lego death star" it would give me the option of clicking that, take me there, and I could navigate the site from there. Hope this helps. I am also reaching the forum that way, vs. using my traditional bookmarks.

^Interesting. I logged in this morning, and I've stayed logged in even between opening and closing the browser and rebooting my entire computer (on top of which I was using Ubuntu first, then Windows, then Ubuntu again) and I haven't had to log in again...Possibly to do with being logged into Chrome and it being Chrome that's remembering me, not the website, as it were?

The problem is due to a setting outside of my control somehow changing overnight. Clearly that's unacceptable and I've had strong words with the hosting company. Their 'head of hosting' is a Brickset user (one reason for going there) so I should be able to get to the bottom of it.
